Harley-Davidson® LiveWire™
HARLEY-DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE MOTORCYCLE
LiveWire is Harley-Davidson’s all-electric, high-performance motorcycle with the distinct look and feel of a Harley. It is powered by the Revelation powertrain, which delivers acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.0 seconds and 100 to 130 kmph in 1.9 seconds. In an urban setting, the high-voltage battery provides 235 km of city range or 152 to 158 km of combined stop-andgo and highway range. Harley’s DC Fast Charge technology provides a 0 to 80 per cent of battery charge in 40 minutes or 0 to 100 per cent charge in 60 minutes. The battery has a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. An optimised centre of gravity, rigid aluminium frame and adjustable suspension components contribute to LiveWire’s handling. The front brake callipers and dual 300 mm-diameter rotors are Brembo Monoblock. Braking, through the power regeneration mode, adds charge to the battery, especially in urban traffic. The tyres are co-branded ‘H-D/ Michelin Scorcher Sport,’ designed specifically for LiveWire. The bike is equipped with a full suite of electronic rider aids such as the Reflex Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) which utilises the Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) and Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) to give the rider more confidence and control in lessthan-ideal situations. It has a 4.3-inch colour TFT touchscreen located above the handlebar that offers the rider a wide range of information on an easy-to-read display. There are seven selectable Ride Modes that electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle. 98 NOV / DEC 2019
